Lectures and Seminars

Students attend lectures to acquire basic legal and policy-oriented ways of thinking. Professors lecture on fundamental legal topics such as constitution, civil and criminal laws as well as on various non-legal issues in the global and local contexts. Our undergraduate curriculum holds introductory courses for freshman and sophomore students and applied courses for junior and senior students. Each students are able to set up their study plans in accordance to their own academic interests or future career plannings.
Also important are seminars, where students study multiple issues in closer touch with professors. Seminars are provided at every grade, but those for juniors and seniors are the most intensive chances in order for them to conduct their research. They will develop friendship with other seminar members, which will remain important for them throughout their life. Small classes are one of the many significant features of our education.
